Chapter 189: A Rich Dowry

The craftsman Jin Xiaohan said was an old man who was already old. The old man used to open a small silver building, he made some jewelry and put it on to sell, and then he got older, the children and grandchildren were filial, so he didn't let him work anymore, the small silver building was taken over by the eldest son, and the second son and the younger son were free to help make some jewelry, in addition to the three sons, there were two sons-in-law who were apprentices of the old craftsman, and learned good skills.

This silver building can also be regarded as a family business, and now the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter have also opened small silver buildings in different areas of Kyoto, selling jewelry made by the men in the family. However, it may be precisely because they are all taught by one person, their vision and techniques are a little old and single, so the jewelry of Yinlou is basically a decent style, and it is okay to support the family, but how much profit you want is not.

It is a little far away from the circle of the prosperous South Street and North Street, which is an area where medium-sized families live, the streets are relatively narrow, the houses are smaller, and the spacing is smaller, but in Rao Xuekong's view, it is also a unique scenery. There are some small vendors on both sides of the street, selling everything they need, and from time to time there are children chasing and running, Rao Xuekong and Jin Xiaohan got off the horse and led the horse forward.

"Did the general find someone to check on the things mentioned in my letter last time?" Rao Xuekong asked. It's only a few days before the tryouts, I don't know what Jin Xiaohan is going to become, speaking of which, it doesn't seem good that she always pulls him to help herself? Thinking so, she asked, "The general must be extremely busy, right?" In this way, if there is something in the future, you won't bother the general, after all, the general's side is a big deal. ”

"You're all too busy, are you still free?" Jin Xiaohan asked rhetorically.

"Isn't Liu Yunwei going to get married in a few days? If I don't toss her. It should still be some time. ”

Jin Xiaohan glanced at her and asked, "You want to take revenge on her?" ”

"Revenge?" Rao Xuekong frowned, and asked rhetorically: "Shouldn't it?" She's going to hurt me. ”

Jin Xiaohan shook his head: "It's not that it shouldn't, it's unnecessary." Liu Yunwei can't please her, even if you don't retaliate, she will definitely not be able to live well in the future, Ji Annian alone will not allow her, Ji Annian's mother is not good at stubble, you just watch from the sidelines. ”

"Uh, is that so?"

"Yes." Jin Xiaohan nodded solemnly.

Rao Xuekong couldn't help but feel that what he said made some sense. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay." I'm still busy anyway. I'll leave her alone for now. ”

And Liu Yunwei, who was "ignored" by her, was so excited that she couldn't do it during this time, she was shopping every day, and she went to the banquet of the young ladies twice in three days. Until these days, he has not been married until he closes his door.

Liu Fu said that since the holy decree has urged, he should get married as soon as possible. That's a little earlier. So not long after receiving the holy decree. On behalf of Master Liu and Mrs. Yu, they went to talk to the Ji family's parents.

Mrs. Ji said, "An Nian is the champion. It was appreciated by the emperor, and this time the emperor gave marriage, but it was just to value An Nian's talent. I heard that the Liu family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are many daughters of the rich family in the Dayu Dynasty, and since they are going to marry An Nian, they must do more etiquette. ”

And how to do this etiquette sufficiently, Mrs. Ji means that the dowry is more! How much? One hundred and twenty lifts are always required! And you can't take some worthless things to pack and make face, you have to be real!

"This is for the sake of Miss Liu San and the head of Liufu Liu. Outsiders seem to say, ah, no wonder Miss Liu San can marry the champion, she is also a big family. Isn't it? ”

How can Mrs. Liu say no, in fact, she also thinks so, Mrs. Ji is right, in this way, Liu Mansion will also have face and be able to enjoy a beautiful time.

So Liu Fu found someone to ride a thousand miles to the south of the Yangtze River, and greeted Master Liu and his party halfway, and asked him to find a way to bring more silver.

A few days later, he replied that Young Master Liu Wen had the ability and had expected this early, so he had already persuaded Master Liu to deposit the profits and circulating funds of many shops in Jiangnan to Tonghui Yinzhuang, and also sold some industries that were difficult to collect debts and exchanged them for silver. It can be said that Master Liu brought most of his net worth this time. Hearing that the Ji family wanted a rich dowry to support the faΓ§ade of the three families, Master Liu was also very much in favor, and immediately passed the book to the various stewards, asking them to work hard to raise some silver and save it in Tonghui Silver Village. However, according to the news, Master Liu and Mrs. Yu are both elated and looking forward to it, and Master Liu also said that it doesn't hurt that the dowry is rich, anyway, after they get married, the dowry is also Liu Yunwei's, if the Liu family needs to use it, ask her to get it back.

And the Liu family and his entourage have changed horses many times in the middle, and they are rushing to Kyoto day and night, so they should not be unable to catch up, so please ask Mrs. Liu to help prepare other things first.

Ji Annian has seen Liu Yunwei again in a few days, if compared with the last time, this time her etiquette has been significantly strengthened in all aspects, but her delicate eyes that looked at him shyly, her step-by-step waist movement, and the conversation had no connotation and no content, every bit made him feel bored. In his opinion, she can't even compare to the Qinglou girl like this! The girl in the Qinglou has at least been mixing in the pile of men for a long time and knows how to please men, Liu Yunwei doesn't understand anything!

In fact, if it is an ordinary man, Liu Yunwei is rich and good-looking, and it is very good to be able to marry, isn't this the case with women? It is okay to be able to warm the bed and give birth to a baby and look beautiful! But where is Ji Annian such an ordinary man? He also has high requirements for the main room!

Ji Annian talked to Mrs. Hou about this matter again, not only him, but even Mrs. Hou has been a little restless recently because of Liu Yunwei's performance.

"Princess Jing held a banquet before, originally according to the previous Jihua, I would have taken Miss Liu San to participate, but I didn't dare." Mrs. Hou's expression was a little dazed: "I took her to Miss Sun's courtesy last time, although she didn't do anything wrong, but looking at a few hairpins on Miss Sun's head, she quietly asked Xiao Miao where she bought it?" She's going to buy a set too! Princess Jing's cousin and niece next to her heard it! ”

Ji Annian remembered the woman dressed as a man he saw in the restaurant, and couldn't help asking, "Old lady, ......what do you say?"

"Say what? Don't spit it out. ”

"Is it possible that this Miss Liu San is not the one who saved you?" Ji Annian said something that even he thought was incredible.

Old Madam Hou looked at him in surprise, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "Impossible, the one who saved me is obviously Miss Liu San, I let people check it!" Moreover, the appearance is exactly the same! That is, the temperament is different. Old Madam Hou was also at a loss as she spoke.

Ji Annian said: "Forget it, I don't want to worry about this problem, now that the emperor has given marriage, I will get married in a few days, and it is useless to think more." Perhaps, Yunwei has her hardships, and she is willing to tell me after she gets married. ”

"This is also very likely, An Nian, don't say it, that Miss Liu San is definitely thoughtful and capable."

Mrs. Hou was also convincing herself with this.

Jin Xiaohan took Rao Xuekong and turned a street, only to see a small silver building in front of him. "Which one?"

"Yes."

"How did you know them?"

Jin Xiaohan was silent for a while before he said in a deep voice: "When I was young, my mother liked the hairpin made by that old man the most, and often brought me over to buy it. ”

Finding that he was a little depressed when he mentioned his parents, Rao Xuekong pressed the corners of his mouth, a little excited. If she doesn't have such an impact, she doesn't have parents.

Ah no, now there is.

Thinking about it this way, she is happier than him.

There was no horse bolted in the silver building, so Jin Xiaohan shouted inside: "Geng Lao!" ”

As soon as he finished calling, a young man ran out of the silver building, and when he saw Jin Xiaohan, he immediately smiled: "Jin Gongzi is here?" ”

"Third Brother Geng, help take care of the horses."

"Okay! Who is this? That Geng San looked at Rao Xuekong.

Jin Xiaohan also looked at Rao Xuekong, Rao Xuekong cleared his throat, lowered his voice and said, "Call me Xue Ye." ”

Jin Xiaohan: "......"

"Master Xue, please come in, please come in."

Rao Xuekong couldn't help but laugh and walked into the silver building with Jin Xiaohan.

As soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the simple silver jewelry, she walked over quickly, looking at them one by one, and did not realize how out of place she was with the appearance of this rugged man now shining at these women's jewelry.

Jin Xiaohan coughed, Rao Xuekong turned his head, and saw a young woman looking at him in a daze.

Seeing her look at herself, the young woman was embarrassed, "What does this uncle want to buy?" Did you come with Jin Gongzi? ”

"Third sister-in-law Geng, can Geng Lao be there?"

"Looking for my father-in-law, he's here, it's inside." The young woman immediately walked over and lifted the curtain of the inner room, which was a short passage, and when she walked in, there was a small courtyard, and the open space was opened into a vegetable field, and all kinds of seasonal vegetables were grown, which looked very farmhouse-like. Rao Xuekong was very surprised, the outside was a silver building selling road decorations, and inside it turned out to be a small farm yard.

But she likes it.

An old man with gray hair was picking beans with a basket.

"Dad, Jin Gongzi is here."

When the old man heard this, he immediately turned his head: "Jin Gongzi is here?" But I haven't been here for a few days, so come and pick some beans and go back to eat. ”

Jin Xiaohan walked over, "Old Geng, did you plant beans again?" ”

This old man is the old silversmith Geng Lao.

After Jin Xiaohan explained his intentions, Geng Lao suddenly became interested: "Fresh patterns? He looked at Rao Xuekong: "You painted it?" ”

"Ahem, yes, it was painted by our girl."

Rao Xuekong took out those drawings and handed them over: "Geng Lao, let's see if I can do it?" ”

Doing nature can be done. And when Geng Lao saw these patterns, he gave a very high evaluation. "Chic, it's just a little simple."

These patterns are not simple. Rao Xuekong didn't bring the description of the name of the jewelry, the jewelry is simple, the pattern is simple, of course, she can only make a fuss about the freshness and packaging. (To be continued......)
